I liked some parts. Some background expos, like how Kyrie's and Credo's parents died, and then Nero's reason for joining the Order. The flashback at Nero's first Trigger makes more sense to me the way it is presented in the novel, although overall it is still less than perfect sense. (Why the heck is Vergil there?) I liked the idea that Nero's weapons dissolved while he was in the Savior, and that he was left only with Yamato and DB, and it is actually semi-confirmed by the late-game scenes: Nero stops using Red Queen or Blue Rose altogether, plus the former (the latter is permainvisible anyway) doesn't show up in the cutscene immediately after Nero's release.

Oh, also the unnamed Devil Arm Trish used to make a barrier. I always love the ideas for new DAs.

Most of things I didn't like about the novel are either the stuff they didn't elaborate on enough (Devil Bringer's exact reason for appearing, Nero's genesis, etc), or the common anime cliches which I would actually expect from a DMC thing. At the same time, I never got the chance to judge it in person, so... -_-

P.S.: Fun fact: in the poll on the Devils-lair 30% of people consider DF perfectly canon.
